So.. the user has:

Parent.dll
Your.dll
Their.exe

and everything is working ok.  Then they update Parent.dll to a new  
version.  And because D does not require 'abstract' on classes, it all  
breaks?

But.. Your.dll has not been recompiled.. so how is D supposed to detect  
this?

Or, were you suggesting the user supply a new Parent.dll to you, and you  
rebuild Your.dll with it?  In which case, when you run your unit tests you  
will get an error, right?
